LOL. True. But it's not in a place that very many people will see. It needs to 
be posted on the site somewhere if it's going to be seen. Whether it's worth 
posting on a web page or not, I don't know (particularly since many trolls will 
just always be trolls), but if we actually want that sort of information to be 
readily available, then a single post in the Phobos list certainly doesn't cut 
it.

It is interesting to see though.
